From the On-Chain Economy to Treasury Practice
MESA recently hosted a webinar on how stablecoins can change corporate treasury management. The session featured Ani Mardikian of Circle and Jean-Baptiste Gaudemet of Kyriba. Together they looked at what the on-chain economy means in practice for treasury teams: where stablecoins fit today, which use cases are ready, and how organisations can adopt them without giving up the governance they already have.
Key Themes from the Discussion
Stablecoins and 24/7 Settlement
The speakers discussed how USDC can support faster, more transparent treasury operations. Settlement runs around the clock, so it doesn’t depend on banking hours or cut-off times.
Cross-Border Payments as a Starting Point
Cross-border payments came up as a practical first step for stablecoin adoption. They address familiar treasury problems: payment delays, and liquidity that gets trapped across jurisdictions.
Treasury Use Cases
The session also covered intercompany transfers and tokenised money market funds. Both can improve liquidity management, because they make it easier to move and deploy cash across a group’s entities.
Agentic AI in Treasury
The discussion turned to agentic AI, with a focus on Kyriba’s TAI. It can automate treasury activities within defined policies while humans keep oversight of key decisions.
A Hybrid Treasury Model
The speakers also described a hybrid model. In it, organisations combine traditional and on-chain liquidity and keep their existing governance and controls in place.
Why This Matters for Corporate Treasurers
Treasury teams are under pressure to move money faster, see their cash positions more clearly and use liquidity more efficiently. Stablecoins and tokenised instruments offer new ways to do this. Adoption still has to work within the controls, policies and oversight that treasury functions rely on.
Building Informed Understanding
MESA brings practitioners and technology providers together for discussions like this one. The aim is to support informed dialogue on how digital money can work in real treasury environments, from first use cases to longer-term operating models.
